Prismatic Solid is an indie Shoot 'Em Up game for the Xbox 360 by heloli. It was developed by Hayashi Yoichi (under the handle of "YO1 KOMORI"), a former Squaresoft programmer who also worked on Bushido Blade in 1997 and a little-known tube shooter titled iS - internal section (not to be confused with IS: Infinite Stratos) for the original PlayStation back in 1999. Prismatic Solid shares similar aesthetics to iS - internal section as it features copious amounts of Sinister Geometry. The music for the game is also composed by Shinji Hosoe and Ayako Saso, the composers of Bushido Blade and the Ridge Racer series.In this game, you take control of a green crystalline ship sporting a red, blue, and yellow option that offers your ship six different weapon formations. The gameplay itself is in the old-school style of shoot 'em ups where you must play through the game from start to finish, shoot down anything that isn't you, and collect several power-ups and earn a few extends along the way. Enemies have a tendency to fire extremely dense bullet patterns, but thankfully your ship's options and their tendrils that sprouts from collecting power-ups can shield your ship from harm, adverting some of the game's Fake Difficulty while remaining challenging throughout. You can also earn Stars along the way for performing certain feats, such as fully powering-up your ship or clearing a stage without getting hit.The was game released under the Indie section of the Xbox LIVE Marketplace on June 3rd, 2010 for the very affordable price of $1. The game's original soundtrack later released during Comiket 78 on the same year. A re-release on the PlayStation 4 is now available.

New Game Plus: After beating the Polyhedron (or the Extra Stage boss), you see your ship flying through some area with square pillars while the game tallys your power-up bonuses and remaining lives to add to your score, then you start back on Stage 1 again with your options already powered-up from the previous loop. The game will also become harder.

Bullet Hell: Certain bullet patterns are just too dense to even dodge, but thankfully the options and their tendrils shielding your ship prevents this game from being impossibly hard... that is unless you're on a higher loop with little-to-no protection.
